In Japan, thousands of hot springs well up from the bowels of the earth. On the volcanic relief of the archipelago, these thermal waters, called onsen, are prized by the Japanese for their therapeutic properties.
Practiced for centuries, these purifying baths, marked by religious beliefs, have become a codified way of life and a constituent element of Japanese identity.
